And The Noose Tightens On Brazzers

of particular note:
"Federal authorities say in the complaint that for three months last year Premium Services received $9.4 million in wire transfers from various sources and that much of the funds originated overseas in countries such as Israel, considered by law enforcement to be at high risk for money-laundering activity.

U.S. authorities claim that the funds in two accounts is forfeitable under 18 U.S.C. § 981 (a)(1)(A) as property involved in or traceable to a transaction in violation of 18 U.S.C. § 1960, which prohibit?s unlicensed money-transmitting businesses.

The seizures have been hard for the Montreal-based company. Mansef says that the U.S. government has "significantly harmed" its operations when it seized millions that were used to facilitate vendor payments from third-party credit card processors. "


vendor payments: three guesses who that pertains to.

well damn

I hope they rot in hell.

Sig spot secured.
:pimp

tubezzzzzzzzz

Money seized means no funds for affiliate payouts.

Affiliate payments pretty simple. They lost all that money and didnt miss a payment to an affiliate hey? Guess they are big enough to live without 6 million dollars seized. Guess that means they are making much bigger money hey?

:thumbsup

That money was actually seized awhile ago now and they didn't miss any affiliate payouts.

The fact that they billed more than 9 Million in only 3 months should really spell out for you how much the noose is NOT tightening around their necks.

sig installed

A little birdie told me the feds are also looking to lay "joe francis" type charges on more than 1 big tube net. The whole trend of giving away and hosting unlicensed, unverified , and possibly underaged content , might not look so promising.

A little bird told me someone killed themselves on justin.tv live hows that working for slowing that site down?

so they seized 2 months worth of gross, thats a pretty big chunk, might not cripple most companies but it sure sends a clear message. "we want a chunk of your profits or we will make your life a living hell"

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

This is government theft ...

wow, getting juicy!

Sig spot

to be honest i have never heard of the site but the example seems flawed to begin with. Was the owner of justin.tv put in a cold jail cell in his undies while the guards taunted him ? if he was it would be a better example.

justin.tv 300 on alexa streams tv free for most shows if you ever want. A guy streamed his own suicide and allowed anyone to watch. The owner wasnt charged arrested or anything but provided the viewing vehicle for essentially a snuff film. Snuff being illegal in the US and this being a US site why isnt he in jail? Because he didnt use GFY lawyers.

Ouch!!!!

I don't quite see the correlation between something justin.tv had no control over and something brazzers has control over but...


theres no money in snuff films :thumbsup

anyways my little birdie is involved in content and was contacted regarding content in regards to age and several companies associated with some of the big tube networks. There was no issue but i am assuming if they are on the hunt, they won't stop until they get some blood.

looks like the locals are wondering that is up as well. they lead some paranoid lives.

Residents of Bergerac III Fabreville, are concerned about the suspicious movements in their neighborhood. The business of online pornography Mansef is at the heart of the mystery. Here is the third in a series of three articles published by the Courrier Laval.
Whether or not this explains the need of the heads of Mansef to call in security guards since the fall, the company currently has legal problems of size in American soil.

In his written complaint filed with the court, Ventura opposes the free distribution and not authorized by the two respondents, equipment sites hosting videos Porhhub network. The amount claimed is $ 6.75 million.
Seizure
On the other hand, opposes Mansef seizure of $ 6.4 million by officials of the United States Secret Service Organized Fraud Task Force, in two accounts on behalf of Premium Services, a company created in June 2009 by Mansef. The seizure took place around October 9, 2009.
According to the complaint filed by the U.S. State Court Northern District of Georgia Atlanta Division, on 1 December 2009, Premium Service had no permissions for the transactions it engaged.

Mansef and Premium Services asked the court to invalidate the seizure. Lawyers for both companies that refute Premium Services is a company of unauthorized transfers of funds.

So the owners of brazzers are using private security as they fear for their lives??

Wow.. this is almost as good as the painting of Christopher Walken building Optimus Prime in his garage... almost :winkwink:

This is getting very interesting...

Security is cheaper than content.

i hope they at least have a foosball table in their safe houses.

mo' money mo' problems.

daaaamn thats insane, but at the same time, if you piss so many people off. . !!

Ruh roh...

a snuff film has sexual connotations, a suicide broadcast on the Internet is not even close to the same thing.

:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

orly? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snuff_film guess faces of death and other things are totally wrong. Go back to gfy college and update me please.

Broadcase suicide would not generally be considered a snuff film. :2 cents:

OK this may be a little off topic but this thread is all over the place anyway.

I am curious: How does the US govt. seize money transferred from Israel to Canada?

Edited to ad:

OK they were banking in the US so they could pay their US affiliates more easily. I get it now.

Haha....
